After Chinatown, we decided to go to Little India aka Serangoon Road for dinner and a surprise awaited us. We didn’t know that the street was also lighted up for the Pongal festival. So we got another light-up as a bonus!

Over the long Chinese New Year weekend, I decided to take the children to Chinatown to soak in the New Year atmosphere. Here are some pictures from that visit!
